Post Time to Paint

Well I have finally decided its time to repaint my car. After a couple of accidents the body shops couldnt match the paint quite right and there is some excess dried paint, rought surfaces and what not. I just need some advice. Should I just have the entire car sanded primed and repainted or do something less drastic. I notice every little thing and its really beginning to **** me off What would be a good price to pay and what should I look for in a good paint job. I need all the advice I can get guys, thanks so much.

if you are noticing alot of imperfections id get the whole thing repainted...because if you only get whats messed up repainted you'll notice where they had to blend it and all that...some colors are REALLY HARD TO BLEND and its always better to just do the whole thing...

one thing tho...if you do the whole thing what color are you going with?

Yeah silver is a bish to match. I've had my bodykit and fenders repainted about 3 times and could never get it to be perfectly matched. The color is always off. I've gone to different bodyshops and all of them tell me its never gonna look exactly the same on silver but they can get pretty close. Im just gonna repaint my whole car a different silver with some blue pearl in it.
